About the Event
As technology continues to advance, it is becoming increasingly important for higher education institutions to embrace innovative teaching methods. One such method is the use of AI and prompt engineering to enhance creativity in the classroom. However, with this innovation comes ethical and legal considerations that need to be addressed in order to ensure that students are receiving a well-rounded education that meets ethical and legal standards.
This webinar will delve into the complexities of using AI and prompt engineering in the classroom, and explore the ways in which these technologies can be used to promote creativity while also adhering to ethical and legal standards such as the copyright law and other intellectual property challenges to higher education. The session will provide some practical strategies and best practices for educators to navigate these complex issues, drawing from the recently developed teaching and learning policies and preliminary experiences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
The webinar will also explore the ways in which AI and prompt engineering can be used to enhance creativity in the classroom. By providing students with prompts that inspire creativity, AI and prompt engineering can be a powerful tool for educators to use in the classroom. However, educators need to be aware of the potential for over-reliance on these tools, and ensure that students are still developing their own creativity and critical thinking skills.
In addition to addressing these ethical and legal considerations, the webinar will also provide practical ideas for educators to incorporate AI and prompt engineering into their teaching practices. For example, educators can use AI-generated content as a starting point for discussions and debates in the classroom, or as a tool for generating new ideas for assignments and projects.
Objectives
1. Provide a comprehensive understanding of the ethical considerations that arise when using AI and prompt engineering in the classroom.
2. Explore the ways in which intellectual property laws impact the use and dissemination of AI-generated content in higher education.
3. Provide practical strategies and best practices for educators to navigate the complex ethical and legal issues associated with using AI and prompt engineering in the classroom.
4. Demonstrate how AI and prompt engineering can be used to enhance creativity in the classroom while also promoting critical thinking skills.
5. Evaluate the effectiveness of using AI and prompt engineering in the classroom and provide strategies for educators to measure student learning outcomes.
